The enrichment, yes. We modify the fuel head. Something that should have been done 30 years ago. It will add fuel where it is needed, not in the midrange.
It's like starting all-over again on these 930s for me... That's AC stuff sounds interesting. Right now none of it is in the car, it's in pieces in boxes but seeing as it's white and I want to go light I might not even bother putting one in but.

Which IC's do you use and obviously larger isn't always better what with lag and all There's a lot they should have done 3 years ago let alone 30 eh?!

Well to me,I use the Kokeln long neck intercooler which still retains the AC condenser. Got the xenons from the local Philips dealer here in Singapore. I would upgrade the AC system to the R134a style which is the much better upgraded system. Will be sending my car in tomorrow morning to put in the R134a air conditioning.Yes the fuel head mod is a much better alternative.

Do not switch to the 134. The system will run higher head temps and it will not cool near as well. R12 is not cheap, but it works. Use new lines in either. 134 has a smaller molecule structure and will leak out. The new lines will keep the R12 in and the car cool.

Fired her up last night (just to move her) and boy did she shoot out some nice flames lol.. Exhaust is all loose and I'll have to replace it (looks a bit hacked). I need some RS Door Panels (who sells those dammit!), and a 930S wheel... Got some H1s and a few other lil' pieces. Might put her up on the lift today and start putting it back together

The RS panels are sooo simple and light-weight!!! Things of beauty! From memory, it's like a leather/vinyl covered panel with a strap for a door pull! You could make them from scratch! to those panels!

There are many variations on it, but it's something a little like this:

Or even better:

Sharky,
You drive an XJR. I love Jags. They got their own character and IMO the Brits got fantastic craftsmenship.
